A two-month residency experimenting with community living
-Summer 2026, Sweden-
Two Months - 50 People -
5 Camps - 1 Village
The Event
Community Lab is a 2 month incubator inspired by the design of Burning Man and Mars College, aimed toward people wanting to experiment in community living. It’s a way to explore what community is for you and how you want to live it.
We will form a village that will contain 40-50 participants, making 5 different camps. Each Camp will have it's own curriculum while our village will also have different chapters, bringing us on a collective wave. We are researching the effects of creating micro cultures that live harmoniously together. We hope that this experience will create a deep & positive impact into our personal lives and into the community movement.
The Camps
The experience will be a lot around you, your camp and what you’re researching together.Camps might gather around a specific theme, a research topic or some type of a co-creation. Perhaps one camp will focus on learning a skill or a practice (like circling or building a tiny house together) while another camp might create a collective performance. One group might want to create an ecovillage or build a business together during CL. The possibilities are endless.Within the wide frame that we offer, each camp shapes their own culture, curriculums and time spent together. They’ll explore how to live a life together with things such as cooking, decision making or conflict resolution tools. So no matter the research topic or theme, it’ll be a deep tribal experience for those participating.
The Village
Our 5 Camps will create our village setting. There will be days more focused on camp time, and days that are more focused on village time.During village time, everyone is invited to both offer and join workshops, experiences, discussions etc. beyond your camp, transforming the atmosphere into a dynamic, festival-like vibe. On these days you will explore, create, and learn—not only within your own camp but also across the wider village.
The Vision
Community Lab is a bridge for people wanting to explore the field of community living. Our intention is to offer a space to empower groups to create systems, curriculums and micro cultures that support their process of organizing, collaborating and living communally. Ultimately we want to be part of creating a world where people who want to live more communally and collaboratively, have a place to practice, make mistakes, and develop together.
Some of the Original Inspiration for the Birth of CL
- To help the community movement grow and bloom- To learn about tribal living, community building and practices needed within it- A place of empowerment and freedom to co-create- To find others with similar visions & inspire each other- To create networks between existing / future communities or organisations- To empower each of us to share our gifts with each other- To support the ecovillage of Solfors and for them to possibly expand their community vision- To experience a different world with sustainable systems and healthy living - a life we could see for future generations (addressing topics like: income, alone time, healthy routines and authentic relating)- To have a summer with heartful connections, profound realizations, gaining clarity, creating, playing, healing and learning / teaching
The Orientations of Community Lab
While each camp will have its own micro culture, we believe that a background overlapping culture will support our village to thrive and move cohesively. Similar to the pillars of “burning man” our shared orientations will support a vibrant and connective backbone for our experience together.In general, the more the following orientations align with your disposition, the more likely you are to thrive in this experience, because Community Lab is born out of these orientations.
The Community Lab Orientations are:
"You will most likely thrive at community lab if..."
Wu Wei; Moving from a Space of Listening
- You wish to live aligned with Wu Wei: life in harmony with the natural flow of the universe.- If you wish to act spontaneously and effortlessly, rather than forcing or resisting what wants to happen.- If you value emergence and action or movement that comes from a deep listening and harmony.
Truth and Care in Relationship
- You value vulnerability.- If you are open to being impacted by others and care about tending to the relationships in your life.- If you value honesty and supporting each other in connection.
Joyful Participation and Contribution
- You want to co-create!- If you are intrigued by diversity.- If you are curious about what it means to allow a common culture to emerge from the field of a "group body".
Self Responsibility,
Self Care and Maturity
- You value taking responsibility for your own perception, actions and needs.- If you value transparency and expressing your needs.- If you value deepening your relationship with yourself and expanding your self awareness.
Play, Experimentation and
Orientation to Learning
- You love to explore new possibilities, and love learning with others.- If you are open to expand your belief system and experiment with new ideas and approaches to life.- If you are open to try new things and make mistakes in order to pave new paths for yourself and others.
A Love of the Earth and
Finding Internal Balance
- You love the earth and wish to take care of this home.- If you wish to deepen in connection to the earth and find an aligned relationship with the natural environment.- If you are looking to find a natural balance in your life in all directions, inner and outer
So what could come from this?
"Well, honestly pretty much anything."
You might find new interests that you never knew you wanted to explore; you might experience a feeling of “family” with your camp. You might find others that you’re meant to have by your side in the next chapter of your life. You might find someone to buy a piece of land with, or find that others in your group want to build an ecovillage or a collective together. Maybe a creative project or a group business emerges out of your time here, who knows?The idea is for us to research what it is to live in high collaboration and connection with one another and curiously explore what emerges.

Summer 2026
Solfors - Our Home For 2 Months
Community Lab will take place at Solfors - an ecovillage in Dalarna, Sweden. It’s a big land with beautiful nature, a lively river that flows into a big lake, several buildings and plenty of space to create camps.
Money
This event has the purpose of supporting the communal and collaborative movement in the world.Part of this epic undertaking is also considering a new culture of money. What does that look like? This is a question that we are deeply sitting with as we are creating this event. We are wishing to evolve from our upbringings, being immersed in a capitalistic structure that has us competing for resources and utilizing the earth for economic gain. We've been diving into how we want to use money and what and how we are choosing to consume. We are hoping that this piece around money can be a moment of enquiry for us all.
As you continue reading, please take a moment to explore your own values and relationship to “money as a resource” and an energy in your life.In the value of transparency we will do our best to highlight our costs as an organization and our desires in how we want to work with money.
Below you will find what your costs for the event might look like:
Membership Cost
Membership cost is comprised of two fixed costs and one gift experiment1. Solfors Contribution
- 3 000 kr per person for using the land2. Equipment Cost
- 2 000 kr per person for the event3. Our Compensation
- A Gift Experiment
Experimenting with Gift Economics
Based on Charles Eisenstein’s work, Sacred Economics and "The more beautiful world our hearts know is possible" and Miki Kashtans gift economy paradigms we would like to play with a partial gift experiment as a way of researching alternative economic structures.
1. We would like to offer our time and energy in this experience to our camp mates and members as a gift.
2. We also want to create the opportunity for those joining the event to support the likelihood of us sustainably continuing to create similar events.
before you gift...
- Please sit for a moment of silence and notice any guilt, shame, obligation to be generous, fear of scarcity, protection of your resources and notice what comes up for you.- After noticing these often hidden shadows around money you can take a more sober moment to consider your current resources and tune into your heart and body.- The research here is to offer gratitude to one another in the spirit of integrity and desire to support one another, rather than out of obligation and shame.- If you find that you would like to support this project, and you feel grateful and would like to offer us a gift of appreciation. Then we want to encourage you to offer a financial gift.
The festival
- In addition to our gift experiment, we have found another creative way to support our costs of living that will keep the membership cost as accessible as possible.
- At the end of our 2 month experiment, we will have a gathering! click here to read more about it.
- A portion of the gatherings profit will go towards supporting us as organisers.
- click “here” to see the first draft proposal budget breakdown for the festival and where the rest of the money goes.
Our Values around money
We have sat for several hours as a group and have identified the following values around money:
Our Organizational costs
Check out our expenses and where the membership fees come from
Finding the Balance
Accessibility
The people joining this event might end up being life collaborators with us in different ways. We want to make it as financially accessible as possible for the people who long for building community to be able to participate.
Sustainability
We, as a team have dedicated a year of our lives to work on this project and it has already been a magical time of growth and learning for us. It’s been a bunch of work, and so much so, that we had very limited times where we were able to make income in another way. We want to be able to keep dedicating our lives to this project! We would love for this project to support us, to support it.
Down To Earthness and Transparency
Things cost money! We have expenses as a team and alongside sustainability, we want to hold each other accountable and integral that we’re not bypassing the current material world structures. We want to be transparent about our costs and honor them.
Gifting Energy
We all agreed that if our financial needs were met in some way, we would easily do the work we are doing for free. This is the spirit of gifting. The time and energy that we are dedicating to this project comes from big love and joy.
Experimentation
We want to try and do things in a unique and experimental way as an organization. We’ve been to retreats and festivals before and we’ve seen templates for how money is typically used, and we are wanting to try something different and research what that might bring about.
Win - Win - Wins
We are collaborating with the land of Solfors and we want to see the land thrive and find economic abundance! We want to have the resources to support us! We want the cost to be accessible! We believe that there are win win wins in every situation if we are creative enough.

What You'll Do When You're Here
General camp info:
What is a camp?
A camp is a group of 8-12 people who will join together for our two month incubator and explore community living in some form.Camps are small micro cultures of collective experimentation, next to other groups doing something similar. This gives us many opportunities to learn from each other as we share about our findings.We will be 5 camps (including our organizing team camp) that make up our village at community lab.Some camps might have a theme that they gather around or a research topic (See examples in “The frame”). Some might simply be wishing to explore what it means to live in a group, how to allow the natural emergence of group life and how to maintain it).
Infrastructure
Each camp will have an area in nature to themselves, and can build a world of their own, living in tents spread out. Each camp will have their own living room space (big tent) and kitchen (in tent or built structure). Our kitchens will most likely be near one another creating a little campus. There will be several workshop spaces available for the whole village, some inside (including a big barn).
Camp roles
There is quite some practical, emotional, intellectual work required when living in a camp. To divide this work, these tasks and these responsibility points, we have encouraged “camp organizers” to create roles that each member can take on in order to collaborate in maintaining your wellbeing as a camp.Roles or Areas of Responsibility might include:- Kitchen Lead
- Emotional Wellbeing Team
- Curriculum Builder and Scheduler
- Budget and Treasurer
- etc etc.

Orientation and Build Weeks
Missions/Aspirations for this ChapterCamps will:
- get a village wide orientation
- build their kitchen set ups
- start weaving their social fabric and getting to know each other
- start/continue designing their 3 week curriculum for the next chapter (what to focus on and how to schedule & go about exploring it).
- start making vision/agreement documents for their time together at Co-Lab.A Description of this ChapterThis is a time where we will all arrive together and start building our own camp infrastructures. Each camp will be provided with materials to build a temporary kitchen for themselves to use during these months. While most days will be building days, there will also be orientation times that we will hold for our whole village. There will also be time for each camp to discuss and create their own curriculum and design their daily schedules for the next chapter of the container.These weeks are predominantly for landing, setting up, orienting and connecting with your camp mates as we prep for our container together.
Chapt 02:
Camp Curriculums
Missions/Aspirations for this ChapterCamps will:- explore topics/themes or co-creations together
- bond, create systems around their work, daily life and relationships
- finish the frame and scheduling around curriculum, practicalities, communication tools, free time and anything else being part of the everyday life of the camp
- begin to really practice living togetherA Description of this ChapterThis next chapter will be
our first “main course”.We will have 4 or 5 days a week that are predominantly camp centered - here you are mostly with your camp where you are working together/learning together/doing practices together/Creating something together etc. In addition, the evenings during these days will include some collective village time for us to continue gathering as a whole throughout our time together.Then we will have 2 days a week that incorporate more “village time” - meaning more time goes into events/workshops and other activities for all camps included.See what a day might look like, for more detail and inspiration of a possible day during camp vs. village days.
For inspiration of what your camp might get up to during these weeks, read belowIt could for example be:- you as a group meet together, or divide into smaller research teams
- your camp mates are needing more solitude and this could happen during camp time.
- each camp mate is in charge of a different research area and researches alone and then you come together.
- you don’t want to focus on learning but rather on a co creation (such as a performance, a business etc) - or you want some of both.
- you focus on conflict resolution tools, authentic relating etc if/whenever that is needed within the group
- you step into different chapters/themes throughout the time. Perhaps there are several people in the group with knowledge to share within the group or you have several longings in the group and want to give more things space & time. For example each week of the 3 weeks could be a different topic or theme or skill that you’re exploring together.
- you could hire a teacher or facilitator for all / some of the time (or there’s already people within the camp who could step into that)
- perhaps there are camps wishing to explore building long term community together and using Community Lab as a testing ground. They might want to spend some of their curriculum looking for land, exploring visions & values, exploring ways to make money together etc.The possibilities are endless.

Midway Presentations and Break
A Human having a dance break...
Missions/Aspirations for this Chapter- We will gather together as a village
- Camps will have creative time and space to present their findings to one another and “show” what they’ve been up to
- We will all have a short break before stepping into the next (village centered) chapter
- We will celebrate together in some formA Description of this Chapter1 or 2 from each camp form a planning circle for this midway sharing, where we all come together and show each other what we’ve been up to. Performances, Presentations, Gatherings and Offerings start to happen (maybe its two full days with a break on either end)
Chapt 04:
Sharing with the Village
Missions/Aspirations for this Chapter- Open up to people beyond your camp
- Learn from other camps
- Share with people from other camps
- Have some time to chill and rest
- Prep for the next chapter “the festival”A Description of this ChapterThis time will most likely feel like a mini, chill festival between the camps. Instead of being focused predominantly in our camp, we will now have much more freedom to offer workshops, sessions and experiences to the rest of our village. These workshops can be connected with the research that you and your camp were doing (for example: your camp was building a tiny home, and now you can invite other camps in to support the finishing touches). They can also be things that you are interested or researching in your life outside of community lab (for example: movement practices or dance, or pottery or cooking etc.)In addition, this time might be prepping for the festival in the next chapter.
Chapt 05:
The festival!
Missions/Aspirations for this Chapter- Share what we have learned and cultivated with the wider world
- Invite others in, who couldn’t dedicate 2 months to the incubator
- Experiment in creating a collective and creative source of income (both for the organizers and for camps)
- Celebrate and have funA Description of this ChapterThis chapter will be some type of a festival/gathering inviting in the wider world for a period of time.
There are many ways that this might end up looking, we are still in the early phases of exploring. Ultimately this chapter is born out of the missions/intentions from above. Things that we are currently discussing as an organizing team are:- Who will do most of the planning for the festival? The organizing team? A cross camp cohort at community lab? maybe a mixture of both?
- How long will the festival be? 4 days? a Week?
- What is our maximum amount of people that would feel right to host
- Will it be designed like a mini community lab or like a burn or like a festival vibe?
Chapt 06:
Closing and Takedown
Missions/Aspirations for this Chapter- Close down our time together easefully and with connection
- Emotionally close our time together
- Physically take down our structures
- Integrate our experience together and look what the next chapter of our lives will beA Description of this ChapterThis is our time to take down our physical structures and harvest our time together. Workshops that support integration and tying up loose ends will be invited, and we will have village wide closing rituals to end our time together.
Village Days Vs. Camp Days
For the majority of our container we will either be on a “camp focused day” or a “village focused day”Below are examples of what your day might look like in each of these categories, but there is quite some freedom for each camp to play around with their daily schedule, so please take these as inspiration and not a cage.
Camp Days Might Look Like

Theres a movie night in one camp, and a bonfire with singing at another or you want to host a yin intimacy workshop for evening connection time. Time to choose your own adventure.
3 Divisions Of Time
In general there are three main relationships that are happening for each of us at Community Lab. Our relationship to our self and nature, our relationship to our camp, and our relationship to the village. To honor all of these relationships, we want to define 3 different reoccurring times for the container.
Solo Time
There will be time where our whole campus has time to be alone, together. Time to meditate, to journal, to reflect, go for a reset in the lake. It’s self care time to integrate the profundity of the experience around us. For example on "camp focused days" solo time might be encouraged right after lunch as a rest period.
Camp Time
Each camp will have “camp time” which will be time to dive deep in your chosen camp topic, to process, do practical things etc. If you’re for example part of a “natural building camp” that has a facilitator come in and train you, this will be your camp’s time to learn the skills you desire. Maybe it’s time for you to skill share with your group and to train each other; or look for a piece of land together & have vision discussions. Camp time is a time to be together and bond with your collective.
Village Time
This is a time for village wide events where both individuals or entire camps can offer workshops, concerts, dances or all sorts of things for the whole village. It’s basically like a mini festival, where everyone is free to offer things and attend things outside of their camp. It’s a time for cross pollination, collaboration and connection. There will be a shared schedule where everyone can announce things.

Our Group Story
And Where We Came From
We are a group of five who all met in a community project in southern California called Mars College. It’s a three month pop up village and artist residency in the desert where everyone is building a little campus together from scratch. Different camps build their own physical buildings to live in and then host people for events, workshops and discussions. Each camp creates their own shared culture, schedule, frame and academic offerings.
We had a profound journey together in our camp. Our camp started to feel like a family. We focused on bodywork (Zen Thai Shiatsu) and moving through conflict and emotional processes together. This supported a culture of vulnerability and a strong bonding between us. Near the end of our 3 month journey together, five of us discovered our shared curiosity in exploring community building. We started discussing what the next steps towards that could look like seeing as we weren't quite ready to buy land and set sail together. We wanted to “date” each other a bit; explore how much we actually align in our visions and are able to collaborate. The idea emerged to create something similar to Mars College, but instead of framing it as an artist residency we wanted to focus on all aspects of community building and living.

David Sundvall
facilitates a Bridge between Worlds...
He's been practicing de-armouring for the last 2 years, and has 2 years as a innovation facilitator in role of industrial design engineering. He stepped off the conventional path to explore the space between slowness and city life. He dives deep into the somatic world while thriving in the systemic mind.With a strong devotion to authentic relating and freedom in expression. His commitment to truthfulness in service of healing our childhood wounds is inspiring. He embodies a powerful capacity to hold space for any and all emotions and with this he creates free and liberated environments for people to truly be themselves. He is a shadow worker, a bodyworker, a community member and classically trained as an industrial design engineer.
Magnus
Grew up in an intentional community and...
has spent most of his life near and around communities. In both spending years as a team lead at various festival centers and communities, or Serving and Sitting Vipassana Retreats, Magnus spends his life in service of the communities that he’s connected to. He has deep studies in Human Design and has offered sessions with love for many years.Magnus has spent considerable time exploring native culture and service in indigenous tribes in South America and has learned the deep reverence and humility that comes with living close to the land, and staying close to spirit. His depth in meditation and exploration into shamanism shows up in his reverence for life and respect for others. He has also completed a 3 month intensive training in Zenthai Shiatsu.
Sandra
coming to fuller life through deep relational journeys...
She spends more time curiously exploring relating to loved ones than she does making sure she has an income.
She lives for teaching her nervous system that love is neither dangerous nor limited. Her more "official" training has entailed tantra therapy, circling, lots of psychology, body work, theatre and singing.Her grasp of the sacred common thread of her experiences is one and the same; openings to trust — love cannot be forced, but rather emerge naturally as soon as we dare slow down and allow what’s truly alive in the moment to be felt and revealed. Sandra's approach to opening to the now is rooted in the understanding that our patterns of fear were shaped in relationship to another (especially our parents) — and that the natural, gentle unwinding of these patterns therefore happen in the same arena: through honest, attuned, and embodied experiences of connection.There's a growing fascination and longing to explore how this walking each other home can look like - and feel like - in a flock.
Ashina
Is a strong community spirit...
traveling to communities and learning while networking and creating a path to a possible future community project. She’s a passionated visionary with a deep longing to see more ecovillages being born into the world.She loves exploring different systems, structures and culture within community building to create sustainable platforms of co-creation. She’s practicing and bringing in truthful relating and communication practices for transparency into community.Ashina has had a profound life journey of healing.From a young age, she’s had severe injuries and misalignments in her spine. This had her bed bound for over five years in her twenties. Her life has transformed from the experience of feeling imprisoned in her body into expansive awakenings as she walks through life more & more alive, strong and vibrant. Still on her journey of recovery, she now has capacity to share this knowledge both from her embodied experience but also from her training in body & energy work hypnotherapy, authentic relating, shamanism, tantric therapy and yoga.
bodhi
is a passionate human...
His main joy and passions are in worlds of Space holding, Community building, Relational Arts, Zenthai Shiatsu, Circling and Western Tropical Astrology. Ultimately whatever content he’s studying, he loves sharing and teaching. He loves being in connection with others and cultivating deep and intentional relational spaces. Underneath all of his practices and areas of learning, his soul calling is in community building and cultivating intentional communities and micro cultures. He has spent extensive time living in community, practicing in mystery schools, meditating in retreats and exploring what it means to co - create culture that brings togetherness, collaboration and symbiosis with each other and the earth.
He loves practices that bring people together and has extensive studies in all forms of relating and communication. He is on a mission to co - create a post capitalist eco village and be part of an education team that shares the seeds of culture to the other curious creatures.
